Florida: 7 from Food Not Bombs Arrested Feeding People in City Park

HeadlineJan 09, 2017

In Florida, seven volunteers of the group Food Not Bombs were arrested Saturday while feeding people in Tampa’s Lykes Gaslight Park. They were arrested for sharing food without a permit—a costly procedure required by the city of Tampa. Some were arrested still wearing the plastic gloves they were using to dish out food. Food Not Bombs has vowed to continue its twice-weekly feeding program.
